I LITERATURE. " If ever cbance two wandering lovers brings To Paracleto's white walls and silver springs," " Ab, who can tell what visions high May bless an infant's sleeping eye," EDRIC THE SAXON. 2 Vols. Macrone, London. 1836. TIM BIRTH-DA Y, AND OTHER POEMS. Inudzroog, Edinburgh. 1836. Miss Caroline Bowles, a lady well known by her aimpositions, both in verse and prose, is the authoress vf this little volume, which consists of one principal poem, the " Birth-day," penned in the simple, unaf fated style of Cowper, and displaying much of his peculiar talent for scenic description ; and a variety of minor pieres, not a few of which have already appeared in the pages of our leading Periodicals and Annuals. Our favourite " The Dying Mother to her Infant," is among the number, and we scarcely know a poem of the same length that more deserves republication, from the exquisite grace and purity of its sentiment ; the free, musical flow of its rhythm ; and the deep pathos that pervades it. Miss Bowles has the rare art of touching the heart by the mere repetition of a word, which in less skilful hands would be nothing 'more than a tame expletive. Thus in her beautiful couplet— " And hast thou not one look for mc? Those little, restless eyes Arc wandering—wandering every where, the while thy mo ther dies, the lengthened pause after the first " wandering," and its immediate repetition, have all the effect of the most touching sentiment. The late Mr. Hazlitt used to say that he could never repeat Pope's well-known lines— without feeling the tears start to his eyes, and we may say pretty nearly the same of Miss Bowles's couplet, which we have caught ourselves repeating a hundred times, just as one is apt to hum, half unconsciously, some fine old Scotch or Irish ballad. In like manner do we find our memory haunted by Wilson's imagina tim lines— and by the more sounding and impressive ones— " Stand aloof 1 And let the Pest's triumphal chariot Have open way, advancing to the tomb," -which occur among many other magnificent passages in the " City of the Plague." But to return to the volume before us. It is as full of beauties, as May (not last May I) of flowers, but chiefly of the gentler sort, for Miss Bowles has little of vigor in her intel lect, and has too much good sense to attempt a flight beyond her capacity. It is for this reason that we prefer her, as a writer, to Mrs. Hemans. The latter was apt at times to be too ambitious and ornate, and think she was developing fine ideas, when she was merely pa rading fine words. Those who are fond of the simple and the unassuming in poetry, will derive much plea sure from the perusal of this little duodecimo, for the fair authoress's imagination is truly of a violet cha racter —as sweet as it is modest. This is a tale of the eleventh century—a period, we fear, far too remote for any novelist, except one endowed with the inventive genius of a Scott, to ren der interesting. It is but fair, however, to state that the tale is pleasingly written, so far as manner goes, but labours somewhat under a deficiency of incident. To us, the most amusing portion of the volumes is the Introduction, in which the peculiarities of the Yankee captain of a merchant vessel is hit off with much spirit and humour. WINDSOR-TUESDAY.

HANOVER, JUNE 18.—A report has lately been spread that Duke Charles of Brunswick intended to take ad vantage of the visit of his Serene Highness the reigning Duke to London for the execution of a new absurd plan for his own restoration. Without discussing the probability or the ground of such a report we can affirm from good authority that the Governments of Hanover and Brunswick are thoroughly ac quainted with the designs of Prince Charles, and the most suitable measures have been and will be adopted to defeat all such schemes to create disturbances in both States. The latest accounts from Syria state that the English Euphrates expedition, under Colonel Chesney, after surmounting numberless obstacles, and after the two steam boats, the Tigris and the Euphrates, had begun their voyages, had met with an accident. One of the steam-boats had struck on a rock under water, and every exertion was making to re pair it, as far as was practicable. —Swabian Mercury, June 22. SIDE ARms.—A private soldier was placed at the bar of the Police Court on Wednesday, charged with having on Tuesday night, at the foot of Saltmarket-street, stabbed "a female in the breast with his bayonet, and with having threat ened and attempted to stick the Police when in the dis c h arge of their duty. The female appeared, and explained that she had not been dangerously wounded, in consequence of the weapon having struck the collar bone. Bailie Lumsden could not allow a charge of so serious a nature to be passed over slightly. The case was therefore reserved for a higher Court, and the soldier ordered to be kept in confinement.—Scots Times. liAwlcx.—ln this town, as in other burghs of re gality and barony in Scotland, the bill introduced to Parlia ment a few days ago, by Sir A. L. Hay, for the purpose of reforming the municipal government of these burghs, has cre ated considerable excitement. The Magistrates and Council of this place have had two meetings on the subject, &c., aris ing from detached portions of the Burgh property. The Council, in terms of the report of its committee, have submitted to the framers of the bill the propriety of extending the muni cipal franchise to occupiers as well as proprietors, and should it be deemed expedient also to lower the franchise from ten to five pounds, —Kelso Chronicle.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESbAit, JUNE 29, 1830: WORCESTER. TO GEORGE RICHARD ROBINSOIV,Esq.,M.P. ftitithrhig regoletlens were unanimously adopted at a Meeting of the Council cdthe Worcester Political Union helden oil Saturday, June 25 &soHied That this rneetin are dr opinion that lqr, litihinsen uh iils speech on the Ballot on Thursday, &ening last; ntisrepfesented the opinion of the Majority d his dowsti= ttirits en that subject, in stating " 'that the gfeataf pOftidn df titerli l time inglnding the working classes, were opposed to the Ballot." 2d. That Mr. Robinson's deciaratidn ftilatim to e deputa tion from a Political Union having waited upon him dila! tho subject of the Ballot, &c., &c., is in all its particulars without the slightest foundation, as far as regards the Worcester Poli tical Union. _ _ _ 3d. That Mr. Robinson be written to upon the subject, and that a copy of such communication be forwarded to The Sun Newspaper, with the view of disabusing the public mind of those incorrect impressions, which such a statement is calcu lated to produce. In compliance, Sir, with the latter of the foregoing resolu tions, I, at the request of the Council, address this letter to you, expressive of very great surprise with which the diffe rent Members of the Council read the speech stated to have been delivered by you, as reported in the various London papers of Friday last. With regard to one of your statements, that " the great majority of your constituents, including the working classes, were opposed to the Ballot,"—the Council most distinctly avow a contrary opinion, and they observe in arriving at such opinion, they are not led away by any prejudices which might naturally be supposed to exist, from the circumstance of the Council being fully aware from late experience that in too many cases the situation of the working classes in Worcester unfortunately calls for the protection of the Ballot. But such opinion is forced upon the Council from the many opportuni ties which they have had of knowing the views and sentiments on the subject of the Ballot which are entertained by the greater proportion of the operatives of this city, and they hesi tate not to say that seven-eighths of the operatives of Worcester calling themselves Reformers, are most decidedly in favor of the Ballot. The Council would claim your attention to a pe tition presented from Worcester in February, 1831, in favor of Parliamentary Reform, signed by upwards of 3,000 persons, in which the necessity of the Ballot, in a verylong petition, forms• the principal part, and which, in praying for reform, says, " Such a reform as shall enable every elector conscientiously to exercise his suffrage in voting by Ballot." Although this petition received more than 3,000 signatures in an almost in credibly small space of time, yet the Ballot had not at that time one half the popularity which it has since acquired, more particularly since the election of January, 1835. The Council also beg to remind you that during your can vass, previous to the election which took place when Dundas was brought forward as a candidate, you, in a conversation with one of the Council, declared your belief, that if yourself, or Colonel Davies, should be unseated, it would be for the want of the Ballot, and that in the event of such an occur rence, should you be returned, and Colonel Davies not re turned, you would support the Ballot whenever that question should be brought before the House. Now, Sir, although Colonel Davies was not unseated at that election, you need not be reminded that he sustained a defeat at the following one, while you were returned ; and who is the man that would be bold enough to avow that Colonel Davies's seat would have been in any the least jeopardy, if the electors had been afforded legislative protection in the exercise of that dearest birthright of man, the elective franchise ? _ On that subject, Sir, I would refer you to your own ex pressed opinion at the dinner given to you and Colonel Davies, immediately after Colonel Davies's defeat, (January 19, 1835,) on which occasion you said, (alluding to the 398 plumpers for the Tory,) " I would ask any man whether the greater number of these would not have divided their votes be tween me and Colonel Davies had they not been subject to a great degree of influence 9" With regard to your declaration, relative to a deputation having waited on you from the Worcester Political Union, to demand a pledge that you would support the Ballot, and that in case such pledge were not given, they would not vote for you—that you refused so to pledge yourself, and that, not withstanding the members of the deputation did afterwards each of them vote for you—the Council feel themselves called upon most distinctly to deny such statement in tote, as being in all and every particular without the slightest foundation, and they trust that you will be enabled to offer such an explanation on this part of your speech, as will prevent their drawing the very unfavorable conclusion to your character, which such statement is calculated to force upon them. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. D. STEVENSON. Worcester, June 26, 1836. AEROSTATION. ASCENT OF MRS. GRAHAM IN A BALLOON FROM BAYSWATER. On Monday afternoon, much public excitement took place at Bayswater, in consequence ofits being announced that Mrs. Graham, the wife of the celebrated aeronaut, would ascend in a balloon, alone, from the Flora Tea-gardens, Bayswater. At five o'clock between five and six thousand persons had assembled in the gardens to witness the inflation of the balloon. Lord and Lady Nugent, Lord Paget, and other personages of high rank were among the company, and the greatest surprise was manifested at the cool determined behaviour of Mrs. Graham, in encountering so extraor dinary and fearful an undertaking. At six o'clock, the balloon being inflated, Mrs. Graham took her seat in the car amidst the acclamations of those present, which she answered by waving a flag. She took with her a carrier pigeon, to let fly on her descent. The following is her own-statement of her voyage : " At about a quarter past six the balloon was loosed from all control, and rose gradually from the gardens, tak ing nearlya northernly direction.;l passed over the Regent's Park, particularly noticing the Zoological Gardens, at which time I distinctly heard the note of the cuckoo, mingled with the cheers of the assembled multitudes which literally crammed the gardens, and were of the utmost re spectability, the carriage-roads were lined with carriages. I had a beautiful and commanding view of Kensington gardens, the parks, St. Paul's Cathedral, all the bridges, the docks, and the whole range of the Thames together. At the same time, glancing round, I distinguished Hamp stead, Highgate, Hammersmith, and particularly Kew bridge. When up about twenty minutes I had attained the greatest altitude, which was about three miles and a quarter, being full a mile and a-half above the clouds, which being remarkably light I never thoroughly lost sight of the earth. I passed over Hornsey-wood, and was a little annoyed at the number of plantations and woody enclosures. I passed over several gentlemen's seats, but not being acquainted with this part of the coun try I cannot accurately state to whom they belonged. The balloon was so well inflated, and I had such a quantity of ballast, that, if desirable I might have gone to any distance. About 3 minutes after 7 o'clock, I commenced my descent. and ultimately effected it at 10 minutes past 7, in a grass field between two woods at Beech-hill, two miles from Barnet, in the parish of Enfield, Middlesex. In a few mi nutes I received the necessary assistance, and was received with the utmost courtesy by the inhabitants assembled, amounting to above 200 persons ; the balloon was packed up, and in a short time I was joined by Mr. Graham, who had followed, as far as he was able, in a postchaise the course of the balloon, and we arrived at Bayswater a few minutes before 11 o'clock. In conclusion, I have no hesi tation in boldly affirming that with a balloon of sufficient dimensions I would willingly pilot 30 persons through the " realms of air," and bring them all safely to terra firma. " I propose making my 13th ascent, accompanied by Mrs. Cheese, of the Flora-gardens, next week. "JANE GRAHAM." The ascension of Mdlle. Garnerin from the Champ de Mars on Saturday last was fixed for seven o'clock. About a quarter past eight, considerable discontent began to be exhibited by the crowd, who hissed and hooted, and a scene of confusion was impending, when Mdlle. G., not withstanding the entreaties of her friends and the com missary who presided, insisted upon ascending, and cried to the persons who were holding down the balloon, to let go the cords ; this was done in such disorder, that one of the men caught the silk of the parachute, and a loud crash was heard as the whole apparatus ascended rapidly to wards the plain of Grenclle, evidently in disorder. A few moments of painful suspense occurred. " She is lost—she is lost !" exclaimed hundreds as she rapidly mounted. About five minutes elapsed in this painful suspense, when she was seen gradually descending, the parachute on one side, but evidently supporting her. Her escape was hailed by a universal burst of applause, her fate being deemed inevitable, and she fell on the Plaine de Grenelle ; when taken up she swooned, and was immediately put in a coach and conveyed off. MRS. O'CONNNLL.—We have unfeigned pleasure in contradicting the report which appeared in some of the papers of Mrs. O'Connell's indisposition. That lady is in excellent health.—Dublin Pilot. ARRIVAL OF THE THREE GIRAFFES.--Mr• Warwick, the enterprising and indefatigable Naturalist, of the Surrey Zoological Gardens, arrived in the River on the 27th, in an Austrian brig, chartered for the purpose of bringing home the collection of animals made by him in Egypt for that esta blishment, amongst which arc three Giraffes, one the largest ever brought to this country, standing fifteen feet in height. They were taken in the plains of Dongola by Arabs, and se veral of them were captured before they could succeed in tam ing and domesticating these wanderers of the desert. A spe cial firman from the Pacha was obtained for these animals to leave Egypt, as it is his intention not to allow any others to pass the frontiers. Three of the natives of Abyssinia accom pany them in the capacity of keepers, who arc constantly with them, sleeping wrapped in their Bournooss, or blanket by they side. Mr. W. has also made a large collection of preserved specimens of the Natural History of Egypt, including nearly two hundred different species of fish of the Nile and Medite ranean, with the Shells and Crustacea of those parts, among which are many now and highly interesting objects to the Na turalist. Much valuable assistance and attention were expe rienced by Mr. W. in forwarding his objects from C. Sloane, Esq., and M. Piozin, his Majesty's Consuls at Alexandria and Cairo, The Cranes, Jerboas, Camels, &c., are all well. FRENCH "APE RS: The following are the Addresses delivered on tiundiftWthe King, in the name of the Chamber of Peers and Deptities, with his Majesty's answers : YSIR ADDRESS, BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE CIIAMBER OF PEERS. " Aire--The sentiments of the Chamber of Peers are known to you, and you have no need, in order to your being convinced of them, of a renewal of its homage. But the /jeers of Yrance would be wanting to themselves were they not seen on this day pressing round your sacred person. Pro vidence leas again preserved your life. Providence protects Prance—be tall due thanks rendered unto it. The justice of Heaven comes in aid of that on earth. The latter will do its diiti; May it find the atrocious crime it is called upon to in vestigate nefifing but the blind fanaticism of an isolated wretch. I check myself, When emotions are so warm, and so fully partaken a, few words pace for expressing them. Your heart understands ours; and yot.'r august consort, so much be loved and so tried, and all this noble family by which you are surrounded, will certainly do us the same jOtice. It was never more merited." THE RING'S ANSWER. " The Chamber of Peers knows the confidence I have placed in the sentiments of which it has given me so many proofs, both towards myself and towards my family. I take pleasure in thanking it for those of which it this day offers me the painful expression. Though the circumstance which brings you around me is so afflicting, I, however, have great consolation in receiving from you this fresh assurance that you will aid me, as you bare hitherto done, in defending our laws and our liberties—in securing the maintenance of our institutions, and thereby fulfilling the expectations of France, who has entrusted them to my care. It is because I have succeeded in preserving intact this precious deposit that I have become a mark for the bullets of assassins ; it is because they know they cannot tear it from me but by taking my life that those who dream of the overthrow of social order, of the downfal of the State, and that of Europe, see in me an insurmountable obstacle to the success of their sinister designs. I find, Gentlemen, with delight and satis faction, that these odious attempts only draw closer the union which happily exists between the great bodies of the State. My confidence in you is entire. I have pleasure in repeating this, and I thank you once more for the sentiments you have testified." THE ADDLESS BY M. DUPIN G PREP.IDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. " Sire,—The Chamber and the Country are deeply indig- , nant, but the public confidence is not shaken. We place it above all, Sire, in the person of your Majesty, who appears to be exposed to such proofs only for the purpose of displaying in the eyes of a nation, which is ever the friend of true courage, that magnanimity which so eminently distinguishes the King of the French. Sire, whenever your august head becomes a a mark for assassins, each of us would willingly make a rampart of his body. The rebels attack, in the person of the King, the vital principle of order and peace, on which depends the welfare of the country. The principle we will defend, by closing more firmly around that dynasty which France has raised to the throne, only because she considered it worthy of consolidating the Revolution of July. Sire, the enemies of public tranquillity were too deeply afflicted by seeing how, under the loyal Government of your Majesty, every thing was becoming stable in the midst of a pros perity which may almost be considered as a prodigy. It became a necessity for them to endeavour to stop the current. A fanatic has conceived the atrocious idea of a new crime, but an invisible hand averted the blow. Let us hope that a firm and vigilant Administration may find the means of drying up the source of these disasterous attempts. Rely also upon the Chamber, Sire ; the absent Deputies will not disavow the sentiments of those who are present ; we are all unanimous in detesting such crimes, and we are all willing to combine in preventing a repetition of them. Amidst the most profound grief in those days of anxiety, sometimes reserved for the most tender and generous minds, Providence affords means of compensation. Our excellent Queen will find them in the affection of a whole nation, in that pure love we bear towards her family. Her sons will soon return. Wherever they pass they will be received with the same sentiments with which we are animated, and they will traverse France hailed by repeated cries of " Vive le Roi." At this conclusion cries of " Vive le Roi " were repeatedly uttered by the Deputies present. HIS MAJESTY'S ANSWER. " I cannot express my emotion on the sentiments you have testified towards me. You have habituated me to receive them on very painful occasions similar to the present. But I cannot refrain from telling you how deeply they have im pressed my heart, and what consolation and confidence it de rives from them. Yes, Gentlemen, it is with your support and your concurrence, in contending against faction, that we shall prevent a return of these deplorable attempts which would be of little importance if they concerned me alone; but it is France that is attacked through me, as your President has said—it is social order, it is our laws." [Here his Majesty was interrupted by a general acclamation of Vive to Roi.." Yes, yes;" " All, all," cried the Deputies, with a force we cannot render.l " You know that I remain at my post, whatever may be the danger; that my devotion to France is unbounded; and that I am ever ready to die in the breach in defending that which France has confided to me, and which I have sworn to main tain." [Here the cries of " Vive le Roi" were repeated, with an enthusiasm beyond all expression.] " I cannot sufficiently repeat to you how deeply I am affected by your sentiments. I thank you in the name of the Queen, and my family. You may well conceive their sensa tions at the terrible moment. When the explosion was heard the Queen was in my carriage, opposite to me, seated by the side of my sister. After such a shock, they have both need of the consolations you have afforded them. Nothing can be more delightful to us, than the manifestation of the sentiments with which you have surrounded me. lam deeply sensible of them, and the renollection of them will never depart from my heart, or from those of my family." These words, which tivl King pronounced with great emo tion, were followed by fresh nclamations. (From Galignani's Message? . of Monday.) THE ATTEMPT ON THE KING. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The Deputies, on leaving the Tuileries, yesterday, passed in turn before the King, who spoke to each of thern. His Majesty expressed to several of the Opposition Members' his satisfaction at seeing them ; and it was remarked that he shook hands with M. Laffitte, who was one of the last in going out. M. Villier, quarterly physician of the Tuileries, being called in to assist the assassin at the guard-house, relates that, on feeling his pulse, it was for the first minute up at 120, and the second at 112. He bled profusely from the nose, and, in answer to a question from the Doctor, said it was not sur prising, considering that he had not taken any solid food for a fortnight. On being asked his age, he said that he was 25 three days before. M. Dupont, Adjutant of the Police of the Tuileries, having asked Alibeaud whether the polgnard found upon him was in tended to stab whoever might arrest him, he replied, " No, Lieutenant, it was for myself." Yesterday, on being con fronted with the Adjutant, he said, in a mild and apologetic tone, that he was sorry for the trouble he bad given him. Theffellowing are some of the answers he gave, o:3 being inter rogated_ in the guard-house immediately after his a rrest:— No ; Ido not repent. One may repent of a bad actiott, but never of a good one.—You cannot comprehend me, for you know not what misery is.—For my part, when I am starving, Ido not ask charity; I kill him who prevents me from earning my bread.—l have only one regret, and that is at not having succeeded—When a man does what I have done he has pre viously determined on sacrificing his life." M. Devismes having in a mixed tone of reproach and commiseration, said to him, " Unfortunate man I How could you commit - such a deed?" Alibeaud answered with great coolness, " Stop, M. Devismes ; don't let us talk of that, for you cannot comprehend . me. You arc a very good man, M. Devismes, and I esteem you very much. How is your wife ?" It appears that Alibeaud had long cher::shed theifrightful project which he first put into.execution on Saturday; for he used every endeavour to elude' the vigilance of the police. During the last six months be repeatedly changed his lodg ings, rarely leaving behind him any trace of where he came from or where he went to. However, there have been disco vered many circumstances which he has evidently wished to conceal, but none of them have revealed any accomplice, ariJ every thing tends to a belief that he had no other than those deplorable stimulants which have so long disturbed France by perverting the understanding and depraving the heart. When the assassin saw the magistrates enter his cell yester day morning he could not help betokening some signs of emo tion. Ile persisted in declaring that he had no accomplice. On being questioned as to the means of his subsistence, he de clared that he had lived nearly a week on bread and water, which he had obtained from the sale of a hook for 32 sous. This fact was confirmed by other testimony. A person who lately visited Alibeaud has been arrested. The assassin, on being informed of this, smiled, and said that all the searches of the police would prove useless, because no one whatever had participated in his project. He was inter. rogated yesterday in presence of several of the Ministers. The minutes of the examination filled 16 pages. When he signed them lie added, that all that he had said was in strict confor mity with truth, and that his only regret was that he had not succeeded. He then quietly handed the pen to the Minister of the Interior. Aliheaud, it is said, passed the night very quietly. Since his arrival at the Conciergerie he has been constantly watched by four Sergens de Ville and four superintendents. Yester day morning, after having breakfasted; he went away into the Court with his keeper, asked for a pipe of tobacco, and smoked very tranquilly. Of the three pistol canes which Alibeaud received as samples from M. Devismes, he sent him back two, stating that having the intention to recommence his employment as a commercial traveller, be should be unable to sell any for him ; as to the third he had lost it in a cafe. Alibeaud concluded his letter by saying that he had just obtained a place, was better off, and hoped soon to be able to pay for the lost cane. This letter has been placed in the hands of the examining magistrate. M. Legonidee, the examining magistrate, assisted by a re gister and a commissary of police, went yesterday morning to make a search at the house of M. Devismes, who was much agitated at their appearance. They, however, hastened to assure him that the search was rendered necessary by what he had himself revealed, but was by no means directed against him personally. We hear that not the slightest suspicion has ever been entertained of M. Devismes having for an instant had any share in the horrible attempt. The wine dealer by whom Alibeaud was employed is in the wholesale trade, and lives at No. 12, Rue St. Sauver ; Ali beaud entered his service on February 27, and left it on May 24. A search has been made at the same dealers, and in- 4{ Li '\ 7 1 'voices found similar to the wadding picked up in the Ring' &triage. It seems from his declaration that cfie assas.lin in tended last month to stifle himself, but havinn( mot , ey buy charcoal he rerPo-unced his project. The Keeper of the Seals has directed that the exatAttiliece) respeetirs Alibeaud's clime should be proceeded in'vi,lth alk the despatch compatible with justice. Great part of S'etUr day night was spent in drawing up minutes of the state oithet carriage, and receiving the testimony of the persons present at the moment of the attempt. The upper part of the carriage.. where the ball lodged, has been detached from the rest, to bee produced in evidence. In the Ami de la Charte of Nantes we find the following remarkable coincidence with the attempt of Alibeaud:—" Ous the 21st a commissary of police went to the Hotel de la Fleur, where he seized the following obj ects belon g in g to a jeweller of Paris:—A musket cane, a pistol knife, a p i stol riding-whip, and a pistol thong-whip, all of the manufacture of M. Devismes, No. 12, Rue du Helder, at Paris, inventor ,'at these arms." Here are a few more particulars respecting the perpetrator :if the attempt of the 25th of June :—His name is positively L ou Alibeaud. He is twenty-six years old, and a native of Nismes. ,His parents; who are said to be very honest, keep a small inn at Perpignan. He served in the 15th Light Infan try, from which he was discharged in consequence of a duet and a wound. He then left France, and went to Spain. Since his return to France laze year all trace of him is lost. It appears that be had long ent ,-rtained his atrocious design, for he seemed to be evading the v)J ilance and searches of the police. Within the last six months h e has frequently changed lodgings. Nevertheless, the investigation has already suc ceeded in discovering a number of divc..umstances which he seemed desirous of concealing; but they hen as yet yielded the discovery of no accomplice whatever, and there is every reason to believe that his only accomplice has been the Jeplorable ex citation which has so long disturbed our country, perverted minds, and depraved hearts.' It is positive that when the shot was discharged, the King bad inclined his head to salute the National Guards, who pre sented arms. It is not an air-gun which Alibeaud used, but the barrel of an ordinary gun introduced into an ordinary cane. The name of the assassin is Louis Michel Alibeaud. Ac cording to his declaration, be had meditated his crime several months before.—Gazette des Tribuneauz: EXCHEQUER COURT.-MONDAY. VANDENHOFF V. BUNN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the irfigedian, to reeoyer from the defendant, the late lessee of the Thea tres Roy Drury-lane and Covent-garden, the sum of 162/., being the amount of nine weeks' salary, at the rite of 18/. per week. Mr. PLATT s t,„ted the case. The plaintiff, Mr. Vande.'i hoff, had been compelled to bring the present action to re cover from the defendant the amount of his wages for nine weeks after the defendant" . had wantonly closed the theatre, and he thought to keep the p 2aintiff idle and unemployed. In July, 1834, previous to the then coming season, which was to have commenced in October, 3834, and ended in July, 1835,a Mr. Dunn,the agent and manager for the defendant, being engaged in negotiations with different actors, in order to form a company, applied, among others, to the plaintiff, who. required a salary of 20/. a week. This Dunn considered too much. On the 24th of July,he wrote plaintiff a letter, stating that he had mentioned the matter to parties interested in the management, and that the pecuniary arrangements of the theatre would not allow them to advance upon the offer beyond the sum of 161. per week for the first season, and 181. a week for the second. To this Mr. Vandenboff wrote, in reply, that, standing as he did in the profession, neither an untried man nor stale with the public, but being, on the contrary, in possession of popular opinion, with all the ad vantages of novelty, he deemed his services to be well worth the remuneration he asked. However, in order to meet them half-way, he would accept of and conAude an engagement for the two years at the rate of 181. a week. In answer to this offer Mr. Vandenhoff received from Mr. Dunn a letter, in which is contained the actual and only agreement and engagement entered into between the par ties, and upon which, being first duly stamped, the pre sent action has been brought. And having been duly announced, in pursuance of this engagement, Mr. Vandenhoff appeared accordingly on the stage at Covent-garden Theatre the first night of the opening, and played the part of " The Stranger ;" afterwards at Drury-lane, continuing to play at both theatres, which were then under the same management, and to receive his salary up to the 18th day of May, 1835, when Mr. Bunts had a notion that, although he had entered into a contract with plaintiff for the season, he might close the theatre and terminate the season. A farewell address was spoken on the 18th day of May, 1835, and the season declared to be closed. The defendant wishing, however, to make two seasons out of one, and to have what he called a summer season, opened the theatre again in a night or two, and the performances continued up to the 18th of July, when it was formally closed. Plait:tiff remained in town, and tendered his services, which were not accepted. The next season began, and plaintiff gave notice that he should ex pect nine week's salary after the last season, and con tinued to receive his weekly payments during that season, but always under protest. Under thew circumstances he trusted, that the Jury would award plaintiff his salary for the remainder of the season, the common understanding and ordinary acceptation of the term being a period of 200 nights, which would bring it down to the month of July. - • The Jury, after a short consultation, found for tie plain tiff—Damages 162/., subject to point raised under the 4th section of the Statute of Frauds, as to the contract being for more than one year. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THANES OFFICE. A WOMAN STABBED BY HER HUSBAND.—DanieI Crawley, a robust Irishman, about 40 years of age, was brought before Messrs. BALLANTINE and CLARKSON, charged with attempting to murder his wife, on Saturday evening. C a .'herine Crawley stated that her husband came home about elbven o'clock at night, and in a surly manner in quired if his daughter was at home. She was so alarmed that she forgot, whether she answered yes or no ; but the prisoner immedini:ely knocked her down, and while on the ground stabbed her t :vice with a clasp knife he held in his hand. Witness called put murdcr, and some persons came to her assistance, who g-aye the prisoner into the custody of a policeman. The wound.c she had received, although not of a dangerous nature, were very serious, and she was likely to want medical assistance for some time to come. The poor woman could not stand, aid was accommodated with a scat while giving her evidence. Mr. BALLANTINE.—What was the cause of your hus band acting in so violent a manner? Was 11e intoxicated Witness.—No, Sir ; he was quite sober, and I bad given him no cause of complaint by word or act ; but I think he was mad. send him before th?, Judges, who will provide an asylum B A LLANTINE.—I think so , too ; and shall therefore for him. Prisoner.—l am not mad. lam as much in my senses any of you. Mr. BALLANTINE.—Why, then. did you commit this o utrage on your wife ? Prisoner,--Because the devil has got hold of me. I have been tied to the devil ever since I had her (pointing to his wife). The Magistrate then directed that the prisoner should he taken proper care of until the evidence was complete, when he will be committed to take his trial on the capital charge. CATARACT OF TITE EYE.—" By the simplified and extraordinarily successful system devised and earned to. +be highest degree of perfection by the science and mecha nict2 ingenuity of our author, cataract is no longer an object of term,' or fearful apprehension. Could, indeed, the most timid and irre:olute witness, as we have done, the consummate dexterity with wh::11 Mr. Stevenson performs his blo odless operation (in every van,ty of cataract—at any period of life, and without the necessity o; a previous and rigorous pre paration), in the short space of ti Dm thirty seconds to two mi nutes, and that, too, in many instances, without the conscious ness of pain on the part of the patient, he would banish every emotion but that of silent confidence in the skill of so great a benefactor, and a firm reliance on his important improvements in the treatment of this disease."—Extract from a Review of the new edjust Mr. Stevenson's Famiti Treatise on Catara ct ," published in the " Metropolitan ar Magazine" fur June, 1836. On Sunday last a young ta:m, named Thompson, while bathing in the Serpentine river, was seized with the cramp and sank, and a person of the name o; Grove, residing at No. 14, Romney-terrace, Westminster, who was also bathing at the time, saw the young man sink, and with feelings of hu manity immediately swam to the spot, dived, and fortunately grasped him by the hair of his head, and brought him on shore. Had he been in the water a few minutes longer he must have perished—he is now doing well. OIL FROM FLIES.—The Augsburg Gazette con tains the following curious fact :—" The Hannetoni (May. bugs, beetles, or May-flies,) have of late become an important article of trade. A society, formed at Qedlinburg, has caused about 19 millions of these insects to be caught, in order to extract oil from them. An essay of the kind has already been made in Hungary, where three measures of-oil were extracted from eight measures of flies. The insects are placed in earthen thenpots , t c h o r yne w r e n d i ttt with o a s h t e r a a w t, e d a nd utensail, e a n s m i e,tal servingl ic net - a vo s v a r k, rec a e n i d they a vertor the e oil. The latter may be used to grease carriage-wheels !" MR. HA RDY.—The Hon. Member makes a very ingenious distinction between bribing and paying head-money ; and the difference is this, that a bribe is money paid before hand for a vote, and head money that which is paid after the vote is given. Whether this subtle distinction satisfied the majority of the House, as it appeared to satisfy Mr. Hardy's own conscience, does not appear from the proceedings; but we imagine that most people of plain understandings out of the House will think that the morality of the two things is pre. chfely on a par ; and that, when Mr. Hardy denied having been guilty of bribery, he sailed rather too near the wind—to say the least of it,--Manchester COTIX is ir . nv.) --",- z 1. ti -.7* 1 34 IP. 1 93
